The lessons described here represent 3 weeks of an 8 weeek unit on Cells. The purpose of this unit is to explore the smallest unit of life, which is the cell. The unit begins by introducing the cell and what the word “cell” actually means and how it relates the smallest unit of life. The microscope is then introduced along with its impact and important to science. Cells are then broken down into two basic types, the eukaryotic and prokaryotic, indicating prokaryotic as the earliest type of living cells. The differences between plant and animal cells are then addressed. The unit then goes into the various organelles that make up a cell, their function and importance to the cell. Each lesson addresses these topics in a variety of ways (labs, activities, power points, videos, etc) in order to keep the students engaged and to prevent the unit from becoming monotonous. It also allows for the students to form connections between the cell and their everyday lives and through group discussions and presentations allows students to have some control over their learning.

1a explaining the relationships between and amongst the specialized structures of the cell and their functions (E.g. transport of materials, energy transfer, protein building, waste disposal, information feedback, and even movement).
1b explaining that most multicellular organisms have specialized cells to survive, while unicellular organisms perform all survival functions,(e.g. nerve cells communicate with other cells, muscle cells contract, unicellular are not specialized).
